1.) What does this say about the way people view Obama? 2.) Would there be any point in occupying DC? 3.) How would believers in the Occupy movement feel about this cartoon?
I love this political cartoon! The way I feel about the way they're portraying Obama is as a part of the rest of the citizens. I view it as if he agrees with the occupy protesters and wished to enact change, but maybe he cannot enact change himself which is why they portray him as outside the White House...because he has no real power to help the situation. (Of course, this is just my take on it from first glance and I'm not very educated in this topic).
What underlying themes are in this political cartoon concerning our government or the people in our country? (Why do you think the artist portrayed the Occupy DC guy like they did?)
